Laughing with the Saints: Part One
Father Martin talked about humor and religious life on NPR yesterday. (Ignore the comments.) And today he posted a bit more, just about the time of the release of My Life With the Saints in paperback.

On the Blogosphere
The Shrine of the Holy Whapping has a couple of funny posts of late: see clerical vestments that sound like pasta and what to do when you don't have your mantilla handy.
If I wasn't feeling sick, I might like to have some pasta right now. I woke up with both a nauseous tummy and an achy one. I want a do-over of this day, damnit.

Guess what? Tonight, I got a promotion, went from Catechist to Priest in the span of a day. This evening we had rehearsal for First Communion and the religious ed director made me Father Maria. See, who needs Holy Orders?!
I'm only kidding about all this. Sad to say, much to the dismay of my little feminist heart, I'm ok with a male only priesthood in the Catholic Church, but still it was fun playing pretend for a while.
The children are ready and it's going to be a lovely day on Saturday. But I seem to be getting the cold from hell! Grr.

Nike Priest Running Ad
Heh! I think this is just as cute as the Coke Light commercial.
Also, feeling better on the Me scheme of things.

Baptism with Electrolytes.
I've been remiss in my Stephen Colbert watching, but this just in from one of my favorite Catholic priest bloggers a video clip from a recent "Colbert Report". In this tidbit, Stephen talks baseball, real estate and the SSPX and of course God.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.

Not Sure It Passes Muster.
My Nativity Set, I mean.
Over here at Adam's Ale, Father V has posted a primer on the proper way to set up a nativity set. I honestly had no idea there was a special way to do it, but I have seen references to how to do it several places online this year. I've heard about leaving the baby Jesus out of the manger before. Mine is one whole piece so he cannot be removed. In fact the one pictured is not the one that came with the set. The original baby Jesus (also a blond) broke. Both his hands broke off. I guess the last year I put it up, I found another one to replace him, I was surprised that I had two baby Jesus'. So, I used the replacement. Next year, I think I'll use my mom's old set. It belonged to her aunt who bought it piece by piece. there are price tags on some of the pieces. It looks a bit like a Fontanini set but obviously isn't. It's the one I remember most as a child and so I'd like to use it as mine in the future.
I still am not sure if my set would meet all the criteria in the post... it's not a fancy nor particularly special set. I got it at Costco and it really doesn't have much sentimental value to me, other than it was the first set I ever owned. I like the nacimiento I keep up every day so much better. I will cherish it for years to come.
It's the first year I've put up that set in a long time. I would do it faithfully every year about the time I put up the tree, then I got lazier and would wait till Christmas Eve to put it up and then I stopped. I put it up this year on Christmas Day. I still like the tradition of waiting to put it up till Christmas Day and probably always will. I don't make my camel and my Magi journey across the room. It seems a bit too odd to me. I suppose I could wait till the 6th to put them up, but often I take everything down around that time, so, they go up a the same time as the rest of the set.
My dad made the stable for me and I always use fresh greens to dress it up. I have a fake tree so those are the only green things I bring into the house and it adds to the season a bit. I almost grabbed my mom's accessories for her nativity set this year. Hers are more suited to Bethlehem-- with palm trees and desert type accessories. But there is cedar in the middle east so I'm not too far off with the juniper. I think next year, I'll look for some rough tan cloth, I actually saw something at a hobby store that would have worked better than the white cloth.
Hat tip to Father Daren at Servant and Steward for the link to the post about the nativity sets.
Anyway... this is the eve of the Solemnity of the Blessed Mother. I really don't do New Year's. The best one was four year's ago when I met Michal. The year after that the sewer backed up into my house, which was good, so I wasn't here crying about Michal not being part of my life anymore. I can't recall the two since then.

He Was A Community Organizer, You Know...
Live Journal is down. So much for the transition going smoothly. It figures when all is said and done, it goes down unexpectedly when all is supposed to be well and good. I posted this there, I think, can't see if it actually posted.
Well, Father James Martin, SJ, is one of my favorite Contemporary Catholic writers. Apparently he speculated how Jesus might do on a job interview with the Obama Transition team. It's here at belief.net. You don't even have to be Catholic or religious to enjoy the humor of it all.
My cousin actually applied for a job in the administration. She was a paid staffer for the campaign. We all got a laugh at the questionnaire. Even I couldn't answer it perfectly and I'm almost a saint. ;-)

A Funny
The elderly priest, speaking to the younger priest, said, "You had a good idea
to replace the first four pews with plush bucket theater seats. It worked like a
charm. The front of the church always fills first now.'
The young priest nodded, and the old priest continued, 'And you told me adding a
little more beat to the music would bring young people back to church, so I
supported you when you brought in that rock 'n roll gospel choir. Now our
services are consistently packed to the balcony.'
'Thank you, Father,' answered the young priest. 'I am pleased that you are open
to the new ideas of youth.'
'All of these ideas have been well and good,' said the elderly priest, 'But I'm
afraid you've gone too far with the drive-thru confessional.'
'But Father,' protested the young priest, 'my confessions and the donations have
nearly doubled since I began that!'
'Yes,' replied the elderly priest, 'and I appreciate that.... But the flashing
neon sign, 'Toot 'n Tell or Go to Hell' cannot stay on the church roof.'

Oh man... Dara O'Briain says it all...
My Catholic Funny of the day. Though, I must admit I saw it on another Catholic Community and didn't discover it on my own. The part about the "Our Father" cracks me up.
